The Sex Offender Control Program
develops plans that will enhance public safety, create aware-ness
and prevent additional offenses through a collaboration
of victims groups, the treatment community and criminal
justice agencies. Community Corrections supervision of sex
offenders.includes thor-ough,
organized and
systematic examinations
of offenders’ persons,
vehicles, premises, com-puter
equipment and
telephone records. These
examinations help en-sure
whether offenders
are complying with the
terms of their supervi-sion.
Some probation-ers
are ordered to the Day Reporting Center, which offers
services that “provide appropriate and increased account-ability
and effective rehabilitation … as an alternative to
incarceration.” Services offered by the Day Reporting Center
are GED, cognitive behavioral initiative group therapy, job
placement and community service.
District 4B also coordinates with TASC – Treatment Al-ternatives
to Street Crime. Basically, TASC networks judicial,
correctional and treatment resources to rehabilitate offenders
whose association with drugs has led to criminal behavior.
Officers and staff who were not available for the photos
were: Carolyn Jensen, Unit 504BA chief probation/parole
officer; Eddie Day, Randall Parker, Mike Leary, Kim Chap-pell-
McCart and Roy Jarman, all level II probation/parole
officers; Rodney Patterson and Christa Padgett, both level I
probation/parole officers; James Smith and Clay Taylor, both
surveillance officers; and Anna Barber, office assistant III.
Balance is the key
to the staff of Com-munity

District 4B in carrying
out their mission to
protect the safety
of Onslow County
by providing viable
alternatives and mean-ingful
supervision to
offenders placed into
their custody, accord-ing
Judicial District
Manager Michael
Morton.
xxxx“We seek a bal-ance
between control and treatment for offenders that will
positively affect their behavior and lifestyle patterns,” Morton
said.
District 4B, with 29 officers and a total staff of 35,
handles a caseload of approximately 1,629 offenders.
The district has three units, each led by a chief proba-tion/
parole officer. They are Carolyn Jensen, Unit 504BA;
Gary Beecham, Unit 504BB; and Drew Warlick, Unit 504BC.
They are supported by five Intensive teams, seven level II
probation officers, nine level I probation officers, five surveil-lance
officers, two Community Service coordinators and
three office assistants.
Two of the three units have specialized caseloads.
Unit 504BA’s specialty is electronic house arrest (EHA),
running a caseload of about 25. The unit also includes a
sex offender control program officer (caseload of 27) and a
domestic violence officer (27 cases).
Unit 504BC covers Judicial Services, Community Ser-vice
Work Program and the Day Reporting Center (approxi-mately
20 cases). The unit also has a sex offender control
program officer (about 25 cases).

More than three dozen Prisons and
Community Corrections staff members
recently spent two days firing 50,000
rounds of ammunition, as they tested a
new handgun that will later be distrib-uted
throughout the department.
Being tested were Smith & Wes-son
Military & Police 40 caliber pistols.
The weapon will be used to replace the
Smith & Wesson Model 64 and Model
65 revolvers that are now issued to
corrections personnel.
The testing was part of the de-partment’s
commitment to ensure safe
and effective equipment for officers.
Five-hundred guns were each fired 100
times.
Max Matthews, training instructor
II, said the testing showed the new gun
to be a good weapon.
“During the testing, we had few
malfunctions -- which were fixed on
the range and returned to complete
the test successfully,” he said. “This
malfunction rate was far less than the
1% standard set for a fail rate.”
Matthews said the Smith & Wes-son
M&P is one of the most modern
semi‑automatic pistols on the market
today. Among the features of the
lightweight gun are an ambidextrous
slide lock, an interchangeable magazine
release, interchangeable grips to fit
different hand sizes, and three passive
safeties that prevent the weapon from
firing if it is hit, struck or dropped.
The gun drew several positive
comments from the testers, Mat-thews
said.
“Most shooters really liked
the balance of the weapon, and
were really surprised that it had
little recoil,” he said. “They also
liked the trigger pull and the
three-dot tritium night sights. I
heard a lot of ‘I really like it.’”
The department’s weapons
instructors will be trained on
the new gun, and then will train
field personnel before the new
handguns are issued. A total of
5,700 will eventually be dis-tributed.

Katherine Horne
chief probation/parole officer
District 13
Horne was recognized for her outstand-ing
work in creating and leading the
Criminal Justice Partnership Program
(CJPP) in Columbus County. She was
elected chair of the CJPP board at its
first meeting in 1996 and has held that
position ever since.
Horne was instrumental in establishing a drug coun-seling
program for offenders in the county. She works to
keep administrative costs for the program low to make as
much money as possible available for offender treatment.
She also worked with the sheriff’s department to start a
pre-trial electronic house arrest program that the county
chose to continue even after state funding ended.
“She is the mainstay – the CJPP here in Columbus
County,” said fellow Chief Probation Officer William Rushing.
As a chief probation/parole officer, Horne oversees a
staff of nine probation officers and administrative employ-ees,
who supervise more than 500 offenders on commu-nity
supervision.
Jeff Appling
intermediate officer, District 29
After putting himself through col-lege
while working full-time as a correc-tional
officer and sergeant in the Division
of Prisons, Appling joined Community
Corrections in 1995. Since 2005, he
has been the sex offender officer for
Rutherford County.
Appling regularly goes out of his
way to balance the needs of offenders and victims alike. He
regularly attends offenders’ group therapy sessions. Fur-thermore,
Appling was recognized this year for his diligence
and dedication by the division’s Victim Notification Program.
When recently contacted by the mother of a young
sex offender victim, Appling took it upon himself to verify
the mom’s report that the offender was showing up at a
school playground. Appling also made follow-up contacts
with both the mother and the school system.
“Jeff can always be counted on to step up without
being asked, and he helps other officers with caseload
management skills,” said Cheryl Modlin, Appling’s chief pro-bation/
parole officer.
Page 4
Michael Dunn
chief probation/parole officer
District 19B
Dunn, a chief probation/parole of-ficer
working in Moore County, was
recognized for his efforts to assist the
victims of Hurricane Katrina.
He conceived the idea of a mobile
kitchen, which he and a team of vol-unteers
from Sanford area Methodist
churches took to Mississippi and served more than 1,500
meals a day. When problems arose in getting food supplies
to keep the kitchen running, Dunn organized a local volun-teer
effort to keep the supplies coming.
The kitchen also served the residents of a nearby Red
Cross shelter.
Dunn made a second trip to Mississippi to feed a
team of volunteers working to repair damaged houses.
He also uses his cooking skills to help out his own
community. For the past 20 years, Dunn has assisted with
the Moore County Law Enforcement Organization chicken
fry fundraiser. He has also cooked for Special Olympics,
Habitat for Humanity, Boy Scouts and local churches.
Michelle Fisher
intermediate officer, District 3B
Fisher supervises a caseload of of-fenders
in the New Bern and Havelock
areas. She also serves as the Com-munity
Threat Group officer for Craven
County, working closely with local law
enforcement agencies to monitor the
gang activity of those on probation
and help curb gang activity in the com-munity.
Fisher is also the electronic house arrest coordinator
in her unit, monitoring and maintaining accountability for
house arrest records and equipment.
Prior to joining community corrections, Fisher worked
as a correctional officer at the state prison in Carteret
County. She served as a surveillance officer for her first
two years in Community Corrections.
In her community, Fisher volunteers for the local Boys
and Girls clubs, where she is developing an anti-drug and
alcohol program for third, fourth and fifth graders. She
also talks to teens about the perils of gangs and gang activ-ity
in their community.
“We have the most professional, hardest working officers and staff in state government ...
I applaud each and every one of you for your outstanding public service.”

Michael Martin
probation/parole officer II, District 11
Michael Martin, a probation/parole
officer working in Harnett County,
was honored for his part in rescuing
a man from an automobile accident in
October 2005.
Martin was headed to work that
morning when he saw a driver lose
control as he turned through an intersection and run off
the road into a rain-swollen creek. Martin waded into shoul-der
deep water and found the elderly driver still strapped in
by his seat belt.
The car’s air bag had deployed and the interior was
filling with smoke and water.
Martin freed the man from the seat belt and pulled
him to safety. Fifteen seconds later, the car sank below the
surface.
���I know that gentleman was someone’s grandfather or
dad, and I’m just thankful I was there to get him out,” said
Martin.
Kristie Purvis
intermediate officer, District 19C
Purvis’ performance as a sex offender
officer in Rowan County has consistently
exceeded expectations, according to
Trudy Gale, her chief probation/parole
officer.
Kristie volunteered to supervise a
sex offender caseload four years before
it became a formal program. She has ensured that a men-tally
challenged offender had the support he needed to man-age
his life.
Because of her attention to an offender who was an
active gang member, Purvis was able to obtain valuable
gang intelligence. Additionally, the offender is no longer
active in a gang.
When Purvis suspected child abuse by one of her
offenders, she acted on her concern for three small boys
in the family. She turned up a probation violation that led
to the boys divulging their parents’ abuse, appropriate care
for them and the imprisonment of their parents.
“Her efforts have made the community safer against
crime, especially sex offenses,” Gale said.
Tonya Sconyers
intensive officer, District 7
As an intensive probation officer in Nash
County, Sconyers manages a caseload
of high-risk offenders, who need fre-quent
and close supervision. She has
initiated many searches that have
uncovered illegal drugs and weapons.
Sconyers is a 12-year commu-nity
corrections veteran, who serves
as the Community Threat Group officer in her unit, working
with local law enforcement to combat gang activity.
She also works closely with U.S. Immigration agents
to make sure that illegal aliens who are sentenced to pro-bation
are handled in accordance with federal immigration
law.
Sconyers is active in her community, as a member
of the local Fraternal Order of Police lodge and an ambas-sador
for the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce. She
speaks to school groups about stranger danger and inter-net
safety, and coaches youth soccer and cheerleading.
Brent Witter
intermediate officer, District 27B
A sex offender control officer in Lincoln
County, Witter’s proactive, motivated
and willing to assist co-workers, ac-cording
to Darren Turner, his chief
probation/parole officer.
Witter ensures he is well-trained,
and has been praised by court and law
enforcement officers for his tenacity in
reporting offender violations. He also receives praise from
fellow officers for his assistance, exceptional work ethic
and professionalism. He is also respected by victims, treat-ment
providers and offenders.
“Brent constantly looks for smarter ways to supervise
his caseload, and implements these innovations success-fully,”
Turner said.
He has devised several communication methods to
help the public and law enforcement officials know who and
where sex offenders are.
Turner emphasized that Witter is dedicated to his job.
“He is a motivated self-starter who performs his job
professionally, consistently, safely and with a minimum of
supervision,” Turner said.

The Sex Offender Control Program
develops plans that will enhance public safety, create aware-ness
and prevent additional offenses through a collaboration
of victims groups, the treatment community and criminal
justice agencies. Community Corrections supervision of sex
offenders.includes thor-ough,
organized and
systematic examinations
of offenders’ persons,
vehicles, premises, com-puter
equipment and
telephone records. These
examinations help en-sure
whether offenders
are complying with the
terms of their supervi-sion.
Some probation-ers
are ordered to the Day Reporting Center, which offers
services that “provide appropriate and increased account-ability
and effective rehabilitation … as an alternative to
incarceration.” Services offered by the Day Reporting Center
are GED, cognitive behavioral initiative group therapy, job
placement and community service.
District 4B also coordinates with TASC – Treatment Al-ternatives
to Street Crime. Basically, TASC networks judicial,
correctional and treatment resources to rehabilitate offenders
whose association with drugs has led to criminal behavior.
Officers and staff who were not available for the photos
were: Carolyn Jensen, Unit 504BA chief probation/parole
officer; Eddie Day, Randall Parker, Mike Leary, Kim Chap-pell-
McCart and Roy Jarman, all level II probation/parole
officers; Rodney Patterson and Christa Padgett, both level I
probation/parole officers; James Smith and Clay Taylor, both
surveillance officers; and Anna Barber, office assistant III.

to the staff of Com-munity
Corrections
District 4B in carrying
out their mission to
protect the safety
of Onslow County
by providing viable
alternatives and mean-ingful
supervision to
offenders placed into
their custody, accord-ing
Judicial District
Manager Michael
Morton.
xxxx“We seek a bal-ance
between control and treatment for offenders that will
positively affect their behavior and lifestyle patterns,” Morton
said.
District 4B, with 29 officers and a total staff of 35,
handles a caseload of approximately 1,629 offenders.
The district has three units, each led by a chief proba-tion/
parole officer. They are Carolyn Jensen, Unit 504BA;
Gary Beecham, Unit 504BB; and Drew Warlick, Unit 504BC.
They are supported by five Intensive teams, seven level II
probation officers, nine level I probation officers, five surveil-lance
officers, two Community Service coordinators and
three office assistants.
Two of the three units have specialized caseloads.
Unit 504BA’s specialty is electronic house arrest (EHA),
running a caseload of about 25. The unit also includes a
sex offender control program officer (caseload of 27) and a
domestic violence officer (27 cases).
Unit 504BC covers Judicial Services, Community Ser-vice
Work Program and the Day Reporting Center (approxi-mately
20 cases). The unit also has a sex offender control
program officer (about 25 cases).

More than three dozen Prisons and
Community Corrections staff members
recently spent two days firing 50,000
rounds of ammunition, as they tested a
new handgun that will later be distrib-uted
throughout the department.
Being tested were Smith & Wes-son
Military & Police 40 caliber pistols.
The weapon will be used to replace the
Smith & Wesson Model 64 and Model
65 revolvers that are now issued to
corrections personnel.
The testing was part of the de-partment’s
commitment to ensure safe
and effective equipment for officers.
Five-hundred guns were each fired 100
times.
Max Matthews, training instructor
II, said the testing showed the new gun
to be a good weapon.
“During the testing, we had few
malfunctions -- which were fixed on
the range and returned to complete
the test successfully,” he said. “This
malfunction rate was far less than the
1% standard set for a fail rate.”
Matthews said the Smith & Wes-son
M&P is one of the most modern
semi‑automatic pistols on the market
today. Among the features of the
lightweight gun are an ambidextrous
slide lock, an interchangeable magazine
release, interchangeable grips to fit
different hand sizes, and three passive
safeties that prevent the weapon from
firing if it is hit, struck or dropped.
The gun drew several positive
comments from the testers, Mat-thews
said.
“Most shooters really liked
the balance of the weapon, and
were really surprised that it had
little recoil,” he said. “They also
liked the trigger pull and the
three-dot tritium night sights. I
heard a lot of ‘I really like it.’”
The department’s weapons
instructors will be trained on
the new gun, and then will train
field personnel before the new
handguns are issued. A total of
5,700 will eventually be dis-tributed.

Katherine Horne
chief probation/parole officer
District 13
Horne was recognized for her outstand-ing
work in creating and leading the
Criminal Justice Partnership Program
(CJPP) in Columbus County. She was
elected chair of the CJPP board at its
first meeting in 1996 and has held that
position ever since.
Horne was instrumental in establishing a drug coun-seling
program for offenders in the county. She works to
keep administrative costs for the program low to make as
much money as possible available for offender treatment.
She also worked with the sheriff’s department to start a
pre-trial electronic house arrest program that the county
chose to continue even after state funding ended.
“She is the mainstay – the CJPP here in Columbus
County,” said fellow Chief Probation Officer William Rushing.
As a chief probation/parole officer, Horne oversees a
staff of nine probation officers and administrative employ-ees,
who supervise more than 500 offenders on commu-nity
supervision.
Jeff Appling
intermediate officer, District 29
After putting himself through col-lege
while working full-time as a correc-tional
officer and sergeant in the Division
of Prisons, Appling joined Community
Corrections in 1995. Since 2005, he
has been the sex offender officer for
Rutherford County.
Appling regularly goes out of his
way to balance the needs of offenders and victims alike. He
regularly attends offenders’ group therapy sessions. Fur-thermore,
Appling was recognized this year for his diligence
and dedication by the division’s Victim Notification Program.
When recently contacted by the mother of a young
sex offender victim, Appling took it upon himself to verify
the mom’s report that the offender was showing up at a
school playground. Appling also made follow-up contacts
with both the mother and the school system.
“Jeff can always be counted on to step up without
being asked, and he helps other officers with caseload
management skills,” said Cheryl Modlin, Appling’s chief pro-bation/
parole officer.

Michael Dunn
chief probation/parole officer
District 19B
Dunn, a chief probation/parole of-ficer
working in Moore County, was
recognized for his efforts to assist the
victims of Hurricane Katrina.
He conceived the idea of a mobile
kitchen, which he and a team of vol-unteers
from Sanford area Methodist
churches took to Mississippi and served more than 1,500
meals a day. When problems arose in getting food supplies
to keep the kitchen running, Dunn organized a local volun-teer
effort to keep the supplies coming.
The kitchen also served the residents of a nearby Red
Cross shelter.
Dunn made a second trip to Mississippi to feed a
team of volunteers working to repair damaged houses.
He also uses his cooking skills to help out his own
community. For the past 20 years, Dunn has assisted with
the Moore County Law Enforcement Organization chicken
fry fundraiser. He has also cooked for Special Olympics,
Habitat for Humanity, Boy Scouts and local churches.
Michelle Fisher
intermediate officer, District 3B
Fisher supervises a caseload of of-fenders
in the New Bern and Havelock
areas. She also serves as the Com-munity
Threat Group officer for Craven
County, working closely with local law
enforcement agencies to monitor the
gang activity of those on probation
and help curb gang activity in the com-munity.
Fisher is also the electronic house arrest coordinator
in her unit, monitoring and maintaining accountability for
house arrest records and equipment.
Prior to joining community corrections, Fisher worked
as a correctional officer at the state prison in Carteret
County. She served as a surveillance officer for her first
two years in Community Corrections.
In her community, Fisher volunteers for the local Boys
and Girls clubs, where she is developing an anti-drug and
alcohol program for third, fourth and fifth graders. She
also talks to teens about the perils of gangs and gang activ-ity
in their community.
“We have the most professional, hardest working officers and staff in state government ...
I applaud each and every one of you for your outstanding public service.”

Michael Martin, a probation/parole
officer working in Harnett County,
was honored for his part in rescuing
a man from an automobile accident in
October 2005.
Martin was headed to work that
morning when he saw a driver lose
control as he turned through an intersection and run off
the road into a rain-swollen creek. Martin waded into shoul-der
deep water and found the elderly driver still strapped in
by his seat belt.
The car’s air bag had deployed and the interior was
filling with smoke and water.
Martin freed the man from the seat belt and pulled
him to safety. Fifteen seconds later, the car sank below the
surface.
���I know that gentleman was someone’s grandfather or
dad, and I’m just thankful I was there to get him out,” said
Martin.
Kristie Purvis
intermediate officer, District 19C
Purvis’ performance as a sex offender
officer in Rowan County has consistently
exceeded expectations, according to
Trudy Gale, her chief probation/parole
officer.
Kristie volunteered to supervise a
sex offender caseload four years before
it became a formal program. She has ensured that a men-tally
challenged offender had the support he needed to man-age
his life.
Because of her attention to an offender who was an
active gang member, Purvis was able to obtain valuable
gang intelligence. Additionally, the offender is no longer
active in a gang.
When Purvis suspected child abuse by one of her
offenders, she acted on her concern for three small boys
in the family. She turned up a probation violation that led
to the boys divulging their parents’ abuse, appropriate care
for them and the imprisonment of their parents.
“Her efforts have made the community safer against
crime, especially sex offenses,” Gale said.
Tonya Sconyers
intensive officer, District 7
As an intensive probation officer in Nash
County, Sconyers manages a caseload
of high-risk offenders, who need fre-quent
and close supervision. She has
initiated many searches that have
uncovered illegal drugs and weapons.
Sconyers is a 12-year commu-nity
corrections veteran, who serves
as the Community Threat Group officer in her unit, working
with local law enforcement to combat gang activity.
She also works closely with U.S. Immigration agents
to make sure that illegal aliens who are sentenced to pro-bation
are handled in accordance with federal immigration
law.
Sconyers is active in her community, as a member
of the local Fraternal Order of Police lodge and an ambas-sador
for the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce. She
speaks to school groups about stranger danger and inter-net
safety, and coaches youth soccer and cheerleading.
Brent Witter
intermediate officer, District 27B
A sex offender control officer in Lincoln
County, Witter’s proactive, motivated
and willing to assist co-workers, ac-cording
to Darren Turner, his chief
probation/parole officer.
Witter ensures he is well-trained,
and has been praised by court and law
enforcement officers for his tenacity in
reporting offender violations. He also receives praise from
fellow officers for his assistance, exceptional work ethic
and professionalism. He is also respected by victims, treat-ment
providers and offenders.
“Brent constantly looks for smarter ways to supervise
his caseload, and implements these innovations success-fully,”
Turner said.
He has devised several communication methods to
help the public and law enforcement officials know who and
where sex offenders are.
Turner emphasized that Witter is dedicated to his job.
“He is a motivated self-starter who performs his job
professionally, consistently, safely and with a minimum of
supervision,” Turner said.
